Ah yes, the lefties of SRD perpetuating the myth of the noble, downtrodden pauper again.
In developed countries, poor people are poor because they suck: they have low IQ, they watch TV, they drink alcohol and do drugs, they have unplanned children and they instantly spend whatever money they make on stupid shit, not because poverty is such an inescapable black hole.
Yea, why can't those poor people working 16 hours a day use the last 8 to study? What do you mean they can't afford $70 a month for internet to use google all the time?
If you're working 16 hours a day in the United States of America and can't afford Internet, you're either 1) a retard, 2) a junkie, 3) an illegal immigrant who can't speak English and has 8 children to support.
Life is struggle and it's normal to be on a tight budget when you're young, but, as shitty as the system is, if you find yourself in a vicious cycle of crippling poverty it's not the system's fault but yours.

That's true, but you also can't ignore the external factors that cause people to make decisions that keep them in poverty. How easy is it for someone climb out of poverty when they were never taught good financial habits, got a terrible education through no fault of their own, have a family and community that modeled bad habits and doesn't value education, are surrounded by addicts to the point where it's normalized and there's peer pressure to abuse substances, etc? A lot of people are doomed at birth to live in poverty by virtue of their upbringing because they just don't know any better and weren't instilled with the habits or knowledge to do otherwise. Most areas outside of the cities and suburbs don't have many well-paying or even full-time jobs either, and it costs a lot of money up-front to move. Then again, external factors are much more important when you're talking about things like the epidemiology of poverty and addiction rather than individuals.
You had 5 extra a day AFTER bills? That's an extra 150$ a month in speanding money, you weren't fucking poor at all.
Imagine being this stupid.
u/Sebaztation thinks that a hundred bucks a week to pay for your living expenses like food, clothing, transportation and other basic necessities somehow makes you wealthy. Anyone who can pay their bills each month is a filthy rich 1%-er.

You may be an /r/drama user, but you will never be so pathetic that you convince yourself you are too poor to look something up on google.
